Got one because it was faster and cheaper to get than Yamaha's. It's got fewer ribs than stock, but I think they are deeper. Didn't feel any different performance-wise.
save you bucks your throttle is the restriction . your not on the track running max rpms all the time

K&N Air Filters--Snake-Oil Soaked Cotton Gauze
I priced a new air filter today at the dealer ship. A replacement runs just over $40!!! So if your going to buy one might as well get a k&n or other type of washable filter.
Hi all, I do agree and disagree with links that where posted above. So I work for a large company (remains un-named but I guarantee if you have blood in you veins and live in north or south America Europe or Russia you have heard of this company) anyways we do a lot of research on the air filters Ect. However a lot of times the piping from the air cleaner to the intake itself leaves a lot to be desired. Primarily because under the hood area is prime real-estate and comes with a lot of give and take for other required parts. Hence the K&N systems for vehicles that are cold air intakes and let's say sucks dust rich air but cool air from the wheel well instead of from across the hot radiators that help disrupt some debrie/dust making it to the filter will increase your hp because of the straight shot and that giant cone filter. We can't build items like that due to dust requirements and standards, plus someone would drive through a mud puddle and try to blame us for sucking up a dirty diaper.
Anyways a drop in K&N filter will act the same as a stock. And a motorcycle with it's short cold air intake already I wouldn't expect to see any change, But they are very reliable and reusable. 3 filters it's paid for in most cases.

Actually as I stated above with the first cleaning second use if a k&n it had paid for itself due to how expensive the oem filter is. So.. Weather or not it's a gain in power it surely is a gain in your wallet!!! :admin:
